Howley, Klecko, Riley Nominated by PFHoF Seniors Committee

NFL Preseason Week 2 - The Pro Football Hall of Fame Seniors Committee has nominated former Dallas Cowboys linebacker Chuck Howley, former New York Jets defensive tackle Joe Klecko and former Cincinnati Bengals cornerback Ken Riley for enshrinement in the 2023 PFHoF class.

All three nominees must be voted upon by the general selection committee when they meet sometime after the NFL playoffs, but that vote has been considered a formality for many years.

Howley was the MVP of Super Bowl V. He was a five-time All-Pro selection from 1966 through 1970. It’s worth mentioning that the NFL and AFL had separate All-Pro teams for most of that span, making an All-Pro selection roughly equivalent to a Pro Bowl selection.
